Screenshots: A Project by Jon Haddock for the exhibition No Absolutes
A series of drawings from an isometric perspective, in the style of a computer game, are the new body of work by Tempe-based artist Jon Haddock. The subject of each drawing is the image, or images, that created a popular cultural event. Historical events like the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. at the Lorraine Motel are used interchangeably with fictionalized events like the death of Fredo scene from The Godfather: Part II , questioning the role and influence of the image in today's technology-driven society.
